Easy way to create multiple-dimension arrays in C++ with new operator

Question

I need to create a lot of small 2-dimension arrays in C++ code. The problem is that it's a lot of work to create even a simple array:

new int* [2]{
            new int[2]{9, 9},
            new int[2]{25, 19}
    };

Is there any better way how to do that? I wanted to avoid writing "new int[]..." every time.

Answer 1

If the dimensions are not decided at runtime, and all the inner arrays have the same dimensions, you do not need dynamic allocation here.

Just declare an array:

int myArray[2][2] = {
   {9, 9},
   {25, 19}
};

That's it!
